A SQUARE-TOED TALK TO
FOLKS ON ALLISON IIILL
Bringing Home a Certain Matter That Is of More Importance Just Now Than
Anything That Has Interested Folks Out There For Years
11} JAMES M. HA GEN
There isn't any part of Harrisburg
that is prettier just now than "the
Hill." In the summer we say it's
cooler than downtown. In the win
ter it isn't any colder than down
town or uptown. We have wide
s-treets. The houses are comfortable.
We're close to Reservoir Park, the
tennis courts and the golf course. We
have all the comforts of the city, yet
"the Hill" is practically a big country
town, because we ail know each other
pretty well.
We think well of "the Hill" ani
wouldn't trade residences with any
one.
And yet we folks living out Derry i
and Market streets, and State, and j
all the other "Hill"' streets, don't

THURSDAY EVENING,
• know—or we won't admit—that we
I stand a chance of losing all we have.
We're used to seeing smoke in the
sky above Steelton; and we know it'x
from the furnaces out there. Hut
there's a chance for another kind ot
smoke.
We're accustomed to having all the
room wo want in Reservoir Park, but
there's a chance that it might be
placarded heavily with "verboten!
signs. We're accustomed to using
the Mulberry street bridge and- we
think it's there to stay, but perhaps
it isn't.
We're accustomed to growling about
the street car servioe on the Reser
voir line, but what if we had to walk
i all the time —and, furthermore, pick
j our way through heaps of brick and
rubbish, encountering smells like
would come from an overturned
graveyard?
We know how many pretty girls
there are on the "Hill" and we admire
them all immensely—but what if hun
dreds of these girls were "war
brides"—without beneilt of clergy?
Occasionally, but not often, there is
need of a policeman somewhere in
this big district. But what if every
street corner had blond brutes in
uniform; and such men as Robert F.
Gross, George A. Shreiner. Dr. B.
Frank Smith. F. J. Aulthouse, Albert
A. Wert, George W. Bogar. Dr. Ralph
Markle or Dr. Arnold were held cap
tive as hostages, and likely to stand
against a well almost any sunrise?
Every day wo read the war news.
We've all helped say good-by to the
boys going to the training camps.

HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH
We've registered our hope that they
all come marching back again some
day. And with that most of us are
through with the war.
The boys who've gone away are
making a 100 per cent, sacrifice. Most
of us who stay at home haven't made
any sacrifice. "We're mighty willing
to "let George do it."
Dut what If the lines in France
didn't hold? What if the German
licet came sneaking out some day
and put the British fleet out of bus
iness? What if Germany were able
to release a couple of million men
from the French front for service in
America? What if we woke up some
morning to And a German army on
American soil; and a couple of morn
ings later to read in the paper that
the Boches were at Lebanon the night
before, coming west? ,
Then what?
The Steelton smoke would give way
to other smokes. The sound of blast
ing from the Steelton quarries would
give way to sounds of cannon shots.
Tiie roads west would be clogged
with frightened humanity. Railroad
travel would have ceased. The guns
would wreck "the Hill" and tho
Boches would wreck the people of
"tho Hill."
You say that's impossible?
That's what the Belgians said!
The Belgians coudn't imagine that
women would be ravished on the pub
lic square in Antwerp. They couldn't
imagine that hundreds of thousands

of their best men would be sold
across tho German' border Into slav
ery. They couldn't believe that an
entire nation and an entire country
would be wrecked absolutely. But all
theso things happened in Belgium—
and they'll happen in the eastern
coast states of America if tho Ger
mans come across and get a foot
hold.
Why don't you buy a Liberty bond?
Well—buy another!
You're not giving your money away
—you're lending it to the Government
at 4 per cent, better than some sav
ings banks pay. You can get it back
any time you wish. Just now the
Government needs help. You remem
ber the time you started to build
your house? Folks were a little
Icary about loaning you anything.
You considered yourself a good moral
risk, and you had what you consid
ered good collateral, hut you couldn't
get enough money. You came to the
conclusion that some of your friends
were a hard-hearted lot.
Don't be a "hard-hearted lot" your
self.
No one asks you to sell something
and put the money in bonds. That
won't do. Tast saving isn't the thing;
it's future saving.
The Idea is this:
This is not an opera bouffe war;
it's the real thing. It's a war that's
worse than any hell Sherman ever
dreamed of. And the way to win It
is to do some of the fighting yourself.

You can't go to the front In person.
Perhaps, but every SSO bond you pur
chase will send 1,200 cartridges there,
and every time you buy a bond you
make it more certain that the Ger
mans will never turn Allison Hill Into
a -tangled field of ashes and broken
briok and twisted Iron.
You make it moro certain that
there will be no sobbing and unmar
ried mothers.
You make it more certain that
there will be no odor on "the Hill"
like a cemetery overturned.
Have you bought a bond?
Well—buy another; and another.

What Causes Wrinkles?
What's The Remedy?
Stop to consider what produces
wrinkles and sagginess of skin. Pre
mature aging, mal-nutritlon, etc.,
cause the flesh to shrink, lose its
youthful plumpness and firmness. The
skin thwi is too large for the flesh
underneath; doesn't fit tightly and
snugly as It used to —it wrinkles or
sags.
It must be plain that to tighten the
skin, make it fit the face perfectly in
every place, will effectually remove
the hateful wrinkles and bagglness.
This is easily and harmlessly accom
plished by dissolving an ounce of
powdered saxollte in a half pint of
witch hazel and using the solution as
a face wash. The ingredients you can
get at any drugstore. The results are
surprising. The skin Immediately
tightens up, becoming firm and fresh
as In youth. lOver.v wrinkle and sag
is affected at once.—Advertisement.
